Design wise this chair is refreshing and it accommodates my simple and modern desk well. I found it to be easy to put together, moderately comfortable and it looks and feels like a dependable product. My critical eye is one you could probably say of most chairs at this price point: the quality of the parts reflect the cost where there is a fair amount of plastic, laminates and synthetics. The laminate wood grain shows future promise of being scratched easily and the construction shows that it was hard for the manufacturer to cut those parts cleanly. The overall look beyond those microscopic observations is this chair has a great look and does its job.
